Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band Live 1975-85 Vinyl 5 LP Box - Columbia C5X 40558 VG++ First Pressing (1986) with Color Booklet and Inner Sleeves
Condition: VG++ (EX) Vinyl and VG++ (EX) Box Cover. Vinyl was play-tested on all sides (yes, all ten sides) and plays really well with nice fidelity. Very clean, looks unplayed. I would have graded in Near Mint, but the first two records have a slight warp, though it does not affect playback at all. Box has good color and no tears on corners, fully functional. Includes all original inner sleeves with no tears, and color booklet with photos in near mint condition. Beautiful copy!
Live 1975–85 is a live album by Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band. It consists of 40 tracks recorded at various concerts between 1975 and 1985. The venues are The Roxy, Nassau Coliseum, Hinterland, Meadowlands Arena, Arizona State University, Giants Stadium and Los Angeles Coliseum.
The album was released as a box set by Columbia Records on November 10, 1986. Box set release includes five vinyl records and a nice color booklet. It broke the record for advance orders, and according to the RIAA, is the second-best-selling live album in the US. Rolling Stone hailed it as "an embarrassment of riches", while The New York Times said it was "an unprecedented event in popular recording" and "monumental".
Most reviews were overwhelmingly positive. The New York Times found it to be the "equivalent of an epic American novel, its story told in the ungrammatical, rough-hewn vocabulary of rock", possessing an "historical resonance that goes beyond pop culture". Rolling Stone said it was "an extraordinary demonstration of how Springsteen’s telepathic command of a concert audience has increased in direct proportion to the size of his stage." It lauded Springsteen's "raw power, lyric honesty and spiritual determination".

_____________________________________________

I use the Goldmine Grading System, and play-test all records. I note any differences between vinyl and cover, and make note of any inserts, special sleeves, or potential defects.


MINT (M) - Absolutely perfect in every way. Most often this is a still sealed record, records that have been opened are rarely if ever marked as Mint.

NEAR MINT (NM) - A good description is that it looks like it just came from a retail store and it was opened for the first time. In other words, it?s nearly perfect, with no visible defects. 

VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+) - Except for a couple minor things, this could be Near Mint. Most collectors will be happy with a VG+ record, especially if on the high end (VG++). VG+ records may show slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Covers should have only minor wear. 

VERY GOOD (VG) - VG records are among the biggest bargains, and for many, will be worth the money. They can lack the original gloss, may have surface noise, and some scratches may be audible, especially in soft passages. But the noise will not overpower the music. VG covers will have signs of handling, and may have minor splits. 

GOOD PLUS (G+) - Good+ does not mean bad! The record still plays through without skipping, but it has significant surface noise and groove wear. Cover may have significant ring wear, noticeable writing, or obvious damage.

GOOD (G) - Record may have some skipping, but is otherwise listenable. I generally avoid selling Good (G) rated records unless they are highly collectible or desirable, in order to enjoy until something better comes along. Cover has major wear or seam splits that need repair, or heavy writing like radio station call letters to prevent theft.
